    Description

    Are you fiercely committed to Indigenous rights, justice and anti-racism? Creative and relentless in your pursuit of real, lasting change? Ready to build and lead a bold U.S. strategy within a dynamic international movement campaigning for Indigenous peoples’ rights around the world?

    Survival International is looking for a Campaign and Program Manager to lead and grow our U.S. presence—someone who can take a small, focused team and build it into a force for change.

    For more than 50 years, Survival International has worked with Indigenous communities around the world, from Amazonia to the Kalahari to the Pacific, with a focus on those who are least likely to have access to decision-makers and the world’s media. Our campaigning helps them win against the colonialist forces that are threatening their lands, their livelihoods, and their lives.

    This is a rare opportunity to shape and lead our U.S. program, as we transition to a Washington D.C. base. Working with a small and dedicated international team, and reporting to the Europe-based Executive Director of the international organization, you’ll be the strategic and operational lead for Survival’s campaigns and movement-building in the U.S.
